Kingdom Parenting is a ministry based out of the Dallas Fort Worth area which was started by Gary and Anne Marie Ezzo. They realized that not all families had the benefit and blessing of understanding how Biblical principles could apply to the raising of their children. After years of Biblical study and with their own experience in raising children, the Ezzos developed this program and founding Growing Families International in 1989. Kingdom Parenting is a part of the GFI ministry which we learned more about in previous months.
Classes are kept to a limit of 6 to 7 couples in order to ensure proper learning and hands on time with an instructor. The most popular classes are Preparation for Parenting and Growing Kids God’s Way. The Preparation for Parenting class provides tools for responsible parenting. The infant management plan offered by the Ezzos successfully and naturally helps infant synchronize their feeding, waketime and nighttime sleep cycles. Growing Kids God’s Way is a comprehensive values-based parenting curriculum. The emphasis is on God’s way, meaning the way of the Lord. This curriculum helps in teaching about ethics, morals, and how to raise children with the virtues and values that flow from the character of God without stressing the child or the parents. These are just two of the classes available.
